Impressions

Here are more or less interesting musical impressions, things and thoughts ...

Comparison of the basic saw wave of the Nord Lead A1 and the Nord Stage 3

As an owner of the Nord Stage 3 Compact and the Nord Lead A1 I was curious how similar they sound (there is the "A1 engine" inside of the Stage 3 according to Clavia
Nord). I'm a fan of classic mono (moogish) sounds and I immediately noticed that the basic saw wave in the A1 sounds significantly buzzier than in the Stage. You can hear it clearly but you can
see it very dramatically in the analyzer graphic (see below).
Well, in this case I think I'll keep my A1

WHITE line: Lead A1
ORANGE line: Stage 3
All other settings are the same.

Comparison of the Neo Ventilator and the internal Leslie simulation of the Uhl X3-2

A short and direct comparison, using the digital Hammond clone from Uhl Instruments and two different rotary simulations: the internal simulation and an external, the
"Ventilator" from Neo Instruments (ver. 1).

1st part: internal sim
2nd part: Neo Instruments Ventilator

All other settings are the same.

Moog vs. Clavia/Nord - Analog vs. Virtual Analog

A quick comparison of a typical lead sound to show how similar the analog Moog Voyager and the virtual analog Nord Lead A1 are sounding. Clavia did a great job and
the A1 makes a lot of fun.

"Hammond madness", again with the Uhl X3-2 organ + "Ventilator" from Neo Instruments.

The "Omega" stand from K&M is one of the few stands that can carry 3 keyboards; it's very stable and it also can be adjusted in many ways to meet your
requirements. Furthermore it's looking quite good in the studio environment.
